[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 465862, member: 11476"] Danny, I will use a my favorite rural rte as an example. No, I'll use my stewards rte as an example instead. Her is somewhat more condensed but is still all over the place. Business in the morning until let's say 1200. She takes lunch between 1200 and 1245. The next area is resi but it alson has business in it. Usually runs 30-40 stopps and takes 2 hrs. However there are many miles in between the 1st area and the 2nd. Let's say that she gets done with that by 1530. This is fine now b/c she can get back into town for p/u at 1600. Now let's go back to the beginning of the day and the business is very heavy and there is air all over. She has to skip part of her business to make air commits and doesn't get done with all the business until 1330. She had to double back to get the business that was skipped earlier. (adds more miles and time to the rte.) So now she is taking her lunch at 1330 and can't get to the next area until 1430-1445. Remember, there is business there also. So now that 30-40 stops won't get done until 1630-1645. Can't be done. Have to break off to go get p/u. (adding miles and time to rte). And I haven't even touched base on the rest off the resi that can't get done until after the 1600 p/u's. Plus she has 2 other p/u's 1 at 1730 and the other right after that. Her rte avg's 500 pcs 3 days a week. So it absolutely does affect the planned day. UPS doesn't factor into our planned day, when we have to double loop our rtes. And you can say that all she has to do is take lunch at the same time and I will tell you that it doesn't work that way. The longer it takes to get the morning business done the later it is getting to the next part of the rte and the more chance that you have to break off to make commit times, be it air or business or p/u's. She has business on her rte throughout the day, some not getting del. until 16:55. [/QUOTE]
